Howl's Moving Castle

I received my gift yesterday at work, and inside were two nicely wrapped Amazon gifts; one from my wish list and one a surprise. I shook them (of course) and determined that one was a book and one was some sort of disc. What could they be?!

Upon opening, I discovered the book and DVD for Howl's Moving Castle. I watched the movie a while ago and enjoyed it (I have really liked all the Miyazaki movies I've seen so far), so when a friend told me that it was originally a book, I had to add it to my wish list.

Thank you, Secret Santa for the wonderful gift. I do not own the movie and like I mentioned, it's been a while. I can't wait to sit down and read the book, and then watch the movie again. Thank you so much!
